There is something undeniably encouraging about hearing a player speak with clarity, confidence, and humility all at once—and that is exactly the tone Luis Díaz struck when reflecting on his current level. For Bayern Munich supporters, it is the kind of mindset that suggests not just a short burst of form, but a sustained period of influence at the highest level.
“Yes, I think so. I’ve actually been in very good form since I left Colombia. I had a couple of very good seasons in Porto. Things also
went very well for me in Liverpool, especially last season. But I think that over time I’ve simply grown a lot more as a footballer and also as a person, that I’ve learned a lot more. It just helps when you’re more mature. And today I feel at 100% – physically and mentally. I think I’m going through a very good time right now, and I’m trying to enjoy that on the one hand… but on the other hand, also to keep doing things right and not be complacent. Because that’s what it’s all about: staying grounded and continuing to help my team. That’s the most important thing,” Díaz told Sky Germany’s Kerry Hau (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
What stands out most is not just the confidence, but the balance. Díaz is not declaring himself finished product or superstar above reproach. Instead, he frames his rise as a process—one built through experience in Portugal and England, personal growth, and the discipline to remain grounded even when things are going well.
That mentality fits perfectly within Bayern Munich’s long-standing culture. The club has always thrived on players who combine elite talent with relentless professionalism. If Díaz truly feels “at 100% – physically and mentally,” then Bayern may be witnessing the beginning of a particularly dangerous phase in his career.
For fans, that is the most exciting takeaway. Form can fluctuate, but maturity and mindset tend to last. And if Díaz continues pairing confidence with humility, his “very good time” might extend far beyond the present moment.
